Police Department Overtime

The audit had five findings:1. Controls to ensure overtime recorded was actually worked should be improved to ensure accuracy and consistency.2. The billing process for reimbursable expenses needs to be updated, automated, recorded, and tracked more efficiently in the County’s financial system.3. The bi-weekly payroll process is complex, requires significant manual effort, and is reliant on one individual with limited oversight. 4. Reconciliation of data and reporting out of TeleStaff should be improved to ensure overtime accuracy. 5. The current process of calculating minimum staffing can be improved for budget monitoring and transparency purposes.
